Austin's Twitter account may have sparked NCAA inquiries

Posted Jul 16, 2010
It's been an interesting 24 hours for the UNC football program. Greg Barnes of InsideCarolina.com said the NCAA investigation centers on possible improper benefits provided to the NFL Draft prospects that elected to come back for the 2010 season. One source I spoke with says Marvin Austin's Twitter account is what sparked the inquiries. An outside party tipped off the NCAA, which then monitored the account. (WRAL Sports Fan)
